True BUT if the EPA got wind of it and thought there was a chance of disturbing the breeding grounds of the rare seven-toed mole when you went to dig your basement they would land on you like a chicken on a June bug...
EPA?
They are too busy harrassing businesses in cities to worry about old duffers like me.
But the locals here are not easily intimidated. The sheriff, police and county judge are friends of mine. Families here have known each other for generations.
Long and short, I don’t feel threatened. But I am also not interested in digging a basement. My house is big enough now.
